(e:terry) has been busy pruning and we had so many dry butterfly bush clippings. I decided to just burn em up quick instead of clipping them into bags. Its amazing how fast they light up. I can see why scrub fires get so out of control in places like CA.

Who knows what all he is digging up when you are not around. You should let Basra loose as a sort of watch"dog".

I stopped by earlier today on the way back from work. Wanted to check out your bike but you were probably out biking. And OH MY, your garden is GROWING and FLOWERING by leaps and bounds. And you know what, that rabbit was THERE chewing away on all your herb. I swear it had BIG mouthful of something from your new vegetable patch! It didn't even move as I came closer! Could be that I am not that intimidating but I think it's more because he just was so intent on destroying and digging up your patch. You have do something or risk losing all veggies.

Some rabbits around the city are rather sluggish. They probably are sick from eating leftover plastic or something. Basra could totally get them - bionic appendages or not.

If the tortoise you could have redone the old kids book but for some reason I think as quick as the rabbit is it may have wound up somehow being the food in this case?

Thanks very much. We enjoyed our respective visits, though I am slightly jealous that the rabbit got a lot more herbs out of your garden than I managed to smuggle out.

(e:terry) and I went to home depot to buy a ton of soil. We had to rent a truck. The manager heard how much soil we were buying and that we rented a truck so he offered us a ton of broken but more expensive organic dirt, soil, mulch, sand bags for free with the stipulation we had to load it ourselves and take it all of it. In the end we moved over 3000lbs of material with our "grace" muscles. Now we have to unload it at home.

At this point I will settle for any muscles -graceful or not. Someone asked me if I had shrunk a few inches the other day!

Man, I need to really come to yoga. I have pretty much lost whatever little I had gained. Pretty graceless I am afraid.

Its what (e:enknot) calls the muscles we get from yoga vs the muscles he gets from lifting weights. Considering that moving 3000lbs of material in a hour is is the max performance I need to get out of my body per year, that it was relatively easy, and that the rest time I am just typing, I think "grace" muscles are good enough. I mean why power a Hummer when I really just need a Vespa.

We are building a food garden although it's a little late because of the weather. (e:matthew) and (e:terry) went to home depot last week but were too shy to ask to get the wood cut so I went to ask today. The Guy cutting the wood had a real hard time with measurements. e.g. "Can you cut this 12 foot board in half?" "Sure, you want two 8 foot sections then?" etc.
